The House of Trade is located on 'Sluizeken' or Water Lock. The water lock blocked traders to get into the city with their carriages so the small square would host the horse and carriages of traders. The traders would then continue with smaller carriages to the center to sell their crops and crafts. Horses would have the shade of the trees and a drinking fountain.
There is always a buzz around city centers and this is still showing today. The street ending in the square is a food hub with a wide offering of international cuisines.
LOW EMISSION ZONE
​
​
Since 2020, Ghent is located in a Low Emission Zone. This means that older cars with high emissions are banned from the city centre in order to improve the air quality in the city. Check here whether your car meets the standards.
